Wireless number portability

So what I'm planning on doing is next week when I'm back in the country I plan to go to telus and pick up a sweet LG G4
BUT
I'm moving my number from koodo, just to throw a cat into a flock of pigeons my plan is currently on a season hold because I was out of Canada for a few consecutive months.

For the mobile portability to work the number has to be "active" even though it's on a season hold can I transfer it to telus. Or do I have to select a plan for 1 day and then transfer to telus...
